One consistent element in the art I have done since I was a boy is monsters.

GERR!

Big Eats!

The definition of monster usually includes reference to plants or animals of unusually abnormal development or size. This is actually a small linocut, 4"x5". All of those great roadside attractions and postcards from past summer vacations and car trips were the inspiration for this image.

The original print did not have the helicopter. I added it later to the image digitally. It's a great tribute to the spirit of discovery. When you take off on a road trip, you never know what you will find.

No comments:

For many people, monsters and creatures of all sorts are weird things for someone to enjoy; but the dual nature of our personalities and learning to deal with fear and what is uncontrollable in our lives is common to us all. Humor is a useful tool for that purpose.
